This marks the 18th year that New Haven will host the prestigious WTA event, while the ATP, including local favorite, James Blake, marks its third consecutive year.
“The Pilot Pen has been fantastic for tennis here in New England and we are extremely proud to continue to be affiliated with such a great event,” said John Graham, DecoTurf’s managing director.
